we could just reopen/start the asylums again, rather than dump all those that are a few fries short of a fun meal on the rest of society at large with little to no supervision.
Neat idea and way to raise funds though.

Agreed. So much tragedy could be avoided (or at least reduced) with proper diagnosis and treatment. I've got family & friends who suffer. Most of them are getting help & relief. Those that refuse, aren't.Leave a comment:

#BellLetsTalk #EndTheStigma #MentalHealth
There's a fabulous campaign that's held by one of Canada's major telephone and communications providers. (Phone, net, mobile, Wireless TV, etc)
On January 28th of every year, they donate 5cents for every text message sent on a Bell mobility device and more.
since 2010 they've donated over $67million dollars towards mental health support and research within Canada.
The goal of this campaign is not only to raise money but also raise awareness and get people talking mental health and stop making the subject so taboo and mysterious. People are sick. Just like a cancer patient, just like someone with a broken bone.
I am in absolutely no way affiliated with Bell, however do support this campaign and effort, I myself was diagnosed with severe depression in 2013. I'm better now, living normally with a with, great job, and 1.5 kids. Nobody would ever know unless I told them. It's just part of who I am, and that's that!
Either way, talk about it! it's good for you:):D
